HI I have a strange behavior here.

I don't know if it is Ubuntu or Spotify, but some reports spotify works well under my setup..

If I launch spotify via Ubuntu gnome-terminal like so

spotify
Spotify launches well..



whoami
And the user who launch it, is let say user01:


But in the same terminal if I use this command:


sudo su user01 -c spotify


It throws this error:
ERROR: Spotify is already running, but not responding. Please close it and try it again

I want to launch spotify via another application (irexec) but I can't run in any other way then via the gnome-terminal..

It runs well under root tho:

sudo su root -c spotify


Open Spotify via SSH work only with root:

sudo su
export DISPLAY=:0
spotify

But i don't want to run it under root..

Any ideas?
Thks!
